That violated the league’s policy that bars team owners and employees from discussing the lockout or any players during the work stoppage. The NBA sent out a league-wide memo just before the lockout began on July 1 stating that anyone who broke the rules could be fined up to $1 million.

Rapper Jay-Z, who is a part owner of another NBA team — the Nets, said in one of his recent songs: “What’s 50 grand to a m*****a like me, can you please remind me?”

I’m sure Jordan feels the same way. 100k is spare change to him. Fines are a part of professional sports and they happen from time to time. Essentially, it’s just a warning, especially for MJ.
